ORISE provides expertise in the medical management of radiation incidents through the operation of the Radiation Emergency Assistance Center/Training Site
(REAC/TS), a dedicated DOE facility located in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

ORAU, managing contractor of ORISE, collaborates with federal, state and local agencies to provide health communication and training solutions that enhance the well-being of the public and the nation’s workers.

Recently discontinued, the University Radioactive Ion Beam (UNIRIB) consortium consisted of eight partner universities that performed basic nuclear physics research using the fast-growing technique of radioactive ion beams.

ORAU, which manages ORISE for DOE, works closely with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to perform research focused on air quality, contaminant dispersion and climate through its Atmospheric Turbulence and Diffusion Division.

The U.S. Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration responded immediately to the Fukushima nuclear plant emergency, and by March 14 had deployed 33 people and 17,200 pounds of equipment. The keynote address, presented by NNSA Associate Administrator for Emergency Operations Joseph J. Krol, Jr., Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (Retired), will outline the agency’s response.

Dr. Makoto Akashi from Japan’s Research Center for Radiation Emergency Medicine, National Institute of Radiological Sciences will present the session “Medical Management of the Consequences of the Fukushima Nuclear Plant Incident.”
